Solana (SOL) holds up well against Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) during current crypto crash

Amidst the carnage of the current cryptocurrency market crash, Solana ($SOL) is holding up well, especially against its $BTC and $ETH pairings. Is this a sign of things to come for Solana?

With $BTC down around 4.3% so far on Friday, and with the entire crypto investment space probably wondering just how much further it might fall, $SOL is holding up extremely well in comparison. A lot of the altcoins are doing a lot worse than $BTC, so this makes the relative strength of $SOL even more surprising.

For its $USDT pair $SOL is down just over 1% on Friday. It remains to be seen if $SOL can stay within its triangle, which also has confluence with the 0.618 fibonacci. Should this break below and confirm underneath by the end of Friday, $112 could be the next line of defence.

The top of the range is 0.0026, with another strong resistance above this at 0.0029. $SOL is currently up 4% against $BTC for the day so far.

Against $ETH, $SOL is doing even better, 5.4% up on Friday so far. The SOL/ETH pair is in a big range that stretches from support at 0.033 ETH to 0.055 ETH at the top. The $SOL price has managed to turn 0.042 ETH into support, and so the next target would be 0.05.
